Chapter 41: Shocking! None of These Books Can "Pass the Censor"?
"Master Sophick did plan to sell those books, but he died before he could sell them." Toby shook his head.
"Master Sophick didn't like reading since he was a child. In Master Sophick's opinion, those books were the least valuable things. In fact, Master Sophick hasn't been to the third and fourth floors much since he inherited the tower..."
"So, when he was short of money, he sold the things in the laboratory first."
Theo was shocked. In the magical world, there were people who thought that magic books were the least valuable things?
And Toby had been with his former master for quite a long time, so he also thought that books were waste paper.
Therefore, he told Theo at the beginning that there was nothing left in the old house.
He didn't even mention those books!
It seemed that it was completely understandable that this Master Sophick couldn't beat others.
In fact, he couldn't even be called a dark wizard...
How could a dark wizard's laboratory be empty?
However, fortunately, this prodigal son sold the equipment on the first floor first when he sold his property, so that the books on the third and fourth floors escaped a disaster!
"Take me to the third and fourth floors to have a look!" Theo said excitedly.
In his opinion, these books were the most valuable things in the entire old house!
...
While Toby was happily cleaning the wizarding tower.
Theo was flipping through the Somnolent family's collection of books on the third floor.
It wasn't until he saw a manuscript called "The Origin of the Somnolent Family" that he finally learned some information about this family.
Although the Somnolent family was not as old as other pure-blood families, it had also been passed down for hundreds of years.
To Theo's surprise, according to the manuscript, the ancestor of the Somnolent family was actually a hag!
As far as Theo knew, hags should be considered magical creatures. Later, the Ministry of Magic classified them into the category of humans, just like centaurs and mermaids.
In fact, although the appearance of hags was very ugly, they were very similar to humans.
The image was like an ugly old witch.
The image of ugly and old witches in Muggle fairy tales came from hags.
And the ancestor of this Somnolent family was named Leticia Somnolent.
She once gave a princess an overdose of Draught of Living Death because she was jealous of the princess's beauty... which was the same as what Theo gave Tom to drink tonight.
The princess, who had taken an overdose of Draught of Living Death, fell into a coma.
Until the appearance of a wizard.
This wizard was very scheming. He put a cheering potion on his lips and kissed the princess, and the princess was awakened.
Next, the king, who did not know the wizard's identity, married the princess to this young wizard...
Theo couldn't help but scratch his head when he saw this, because this story looked very similar to the Muggle fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.
It was very likely that it was the prototype story of the fairy tale...
Theo continued to read.
Leticia was very angry about the princess being awakened.
But she was not the young wizard's opponent, so she had to endure it.
It wasn't until the princess and the young wizard had their first child that Leticia stole the child.
And this child was the real ancestor of the current Somnolent family...
Many years after stealing the child, Leticia told the child about it when she was dying.
When the child learned the truth and went back to find his biological parents, he found that they had already died and could no longer recognize their ancestors.
In the end, the child chose to return to this tower, and the Somnolent family was born...
After reading the origin of this family, even Theo couldn't help but marvel.
After putting down this manuscript, Theo began to browse other books.
It had to be said that the Somnolent family was worthy of being an old family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
Although it was not as old as those pure-blood families, its foundation was not weak at all.
From these manuscripts and books, this family had produced many talented people.
It was a pity that it was finally defeated by Sophick...
The more Theo read, the more excited he became.
His original intention was just to find one or two manuscripts or magic books that Dumbledore wouldn't let him read.
But now it seemed that the harvest tonight far exceeded his expectations!
After quickly browsing the books on the third floor, Theo went directly to the fourth floor.
There were no fewer books on the fourth floor than on the third floor.
It should be said that most of the books on the third floor were experimental manuscripts, magic insights, and even books written by the members of the Somnolent family from generation to generation.
The fourth floor was filled with magic books and rare books collected from outside.
The most important thing was that Theo found that these two floors of books had one thing in common.
That was, there was not a single magic book that could "pass the censor"!
It could only be said that it was worthy of being a dark wizard family. Ordinary magic books without any darkness were not worthy of entering their library...
Theo even found a "Secrets of Advanced Dark Magic" on a bookshelf!
That was to say, Theo could read and learn all the books here.
However, when he really wanted to use the knowledge inside, it was best to confirm that there was no one around...
Otherwise, he would definitely be locked up in Azkaban!
Theo read books very quickly and was very interested in these books.
After browsing several books in a row, he reluctantly put down the book.
He looked at the time and found that it was already five o'clock in the morning. It was time to go back. He could only explore other parts of this tower next time.
For safety reasons, he didn't plan to take any of the books here. Anyway, he had a good memory, so it was fine to put them in his mind.
"Toby, we should go back."
At this time, Toby had already cleaned the entire tower.
It was just that Theo had been reading, so he didn't disturb him.
"Okay, Young Master Theo!" Toby said happily.
He was very happy that Theo was willing to inherit this "old house".
"Toby, remember, you can't tell anyone about everything that happened tonight, and everything about this old house! Remember, you can't mention it to anyone!" Theo said seriously.
Dumbledore must not see the books here...
Tom was even worse!
If he really read these books, Voldemort would be born ten years earlier!
"Yes!" Toby responded seriously.
...
Hog's Head.
Tom rubbed his head hard.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that his head was very heavy this morning.
It was as if he hadn't slept enough.
"Are you okay?" Theo asked.
"No... nothing..." Tom said, shaking his head again.
"Drink this." Theo threw a bottle of cheering potion over.
Tom's symptoms were definitely caused by Toby's heavy dose last night.
It was said to be one drop...
But for Toby, how much was one drop seemed to be debatable.
Tom felt much better after drinking the cheering potion.
He couldn't help but feel more grateful to Theo.
He didn't know that the reason why he was like this was because of the potion Theo gave him!
Poor Tom, he was being played with but didn't know it...
